INITIAL REPORT: The hunt for answers in a Siskiyou County murder case continues to intensify now that investigators have recovered additional pieces of evidence, according to the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO).

At the time, Hodgson's white 2010 Toyota Tundra and his dog Pepper were missing, believed stolen. With the help of a California Highway Patrol helicopter crew, SCSO recovered Hodgson's truck after spotting it during an aerial search several days later.

"A dog owned by the victim was also found alive and well and was given to family members," SCSO said in a statement.

The discovery of Hodgson's truck represents "a source of potential evidence," SCSO said, and has already led to additional leads. Detectives continue to interview Hodgson's family members and associates, and the agency said that search warrants have been obtained.

“This case is still under investigation and anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the SCSO’s 24-hour Dispatch Center at (530) 841-2900,” Sheriff Jon Lopey said.
